More: Part I: Evolution, and death to WCF Part II: Hot data objects I finally hit a point in the re-do of CoasterBuzz where I feel like the major pieces are in place... rewritten, ported and what not, so that I can focus now on front-end design and more interesting creative problems.

What’s new in ASP.NET MVC 4: slides and demo are now online
Jan 1217Today I had my first live webcast for Microsoft Belgium, about the new features released with ASP.NET MVC 4 at Build in September. There were around 80+ people registered and around 50 people attending, and almost nobody left before the end of the webcast, so I guess it pretty well. We also are aware there were some glitches in the audio during the async part of the webcast: the audio was also recorded directly from the mic, so the video that will be published in the next week on Channel9 wi...

Prevent Forms Authentication Login Page Redirect When You Don’t Want It
Oct 1104Go that way instead - Photo by JacobEnos CC some rights reserved In an ASP.NET web application, it’s very common to write some jQuery code that makes an HTTP request to some URL (a lightweight service) in order to retrieve some data.

If it can return curly brackets, it can be respond to a JavaScript request for JSON. One pain point when hosting lightweight HTTP ser...

7 books for a .NET Summer reading list (2011 version)
Sep 1112In the previous years “n books for a .NET Summer reading list” used to be the title of the book list post. Now, in the last of my 4 posts with books suggestions I am back to the original title. In my introductory post I said I would have listed only a few web development on .NET books. In fact there are only 2. Web Development on .NET Professional ASP.NET MVC 3 While Professional ASP.NET MVC v2 was mainly an update of the original professional MVC1 book, the third remake, due to the nature o...

A first look at Windows Azure AppFabric Applications
Jul 1107After the Windows Azure AppFabric team announced the availability of Windows Azure AppFabric Applications (preview), I signed up for early access immediately and got in. After installing the tools and creating a namespace through the portal, I decided to give it a try to see what it’s all about. Note that Neil Mackenzie also has an extensive post on “WAAFapps” which I recommend you to read as well. So what is this Windows Azure AppFabric Applications thing? Before answering that question, le...

Pushing Code to NuGet
May 1106I kicked up some dust yesterday when I suggested that pushing packages to Nuget could be a bit easier. Many retorts of “how could it possibly be simpler!?!?!?!” (I never grow tired of condescension - it makes me write posts :) and I thought to myself: “there has to be other people in my position”. So here it is - the Simple Guide To Pushing Code to Nuget - mostly for me to remember how to do it, but if you find it helpful yay! NuGet.exe The first thing you’ll need is NuGet.exe. It’s a pa...

Working with SSL at Development Time is easier with IISExpress
Apr 1121One of the demos in my Mix 11 talk An Overview of the MS Web Stack of Love was showing how IIS Express and Visual Studio SP1 (as well as WebMatrix) can make working with SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) a heck of a lot easier. If you've used Cassini before (that's the little built in Visual Web Developer Server) you've likely noticed that I doesn't support SSL. This makes working with real world sites a little challenging. If you want your Login pages and Account Management pages to use secure so...

Introducing ASP.NET MVC 3 Tools Update
Apr 1112Today at Mix, Scott Guthrie announced an update to the ASP.NET MVC 3 we’re calling the ASP.NET MVC 3 Tools Update. You can install it via Web PI or download the installer by going to the download details page. Check out the release notes as well for more details. Notice the emphasis on calling it a Tools Update? The reason for that is simple. This only updates the tooling for ASP.NET MVC 3 and not the runtime. There are no changes to System.Web.Mvc.dll or any of its other assemblies that shi...
